2024 Alternative Metal album. I use Drop-D guitar tuning on some songs and the rest are Drop-C. See individual songs for lyrics. I can't say enough how much Jerry Cantrell/AIC and Deftones influenced this album. Also Trent Reznor for the confidence to make this completely on my own.

The Desert Album

Cant Slow Down

The Trap - Majestic J ft. Mikey Boii

This song is about feeling lonely and dealing with suicidal thoughts while trying to grow as a person. when its difficult to deal with the things that way you down, trust god because there is a knowing that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. So towards the end I realize I am becoming stronger when faced with these battles and storms.

8th track of 2024. New guitar track added May 2024. Lyrics are about Hunter S. Thompson and Layne Staley.

Lyrics:
Hey there's someone to see you
He don't care if you bleed too
Hey yeah he wanna meet ya
He look like a teacher

He's got some funky pills on the right side
We're gonna have to give him a long ride

Yeah
He's a Ghost Ride
Yeah
He don't look right

Maybe take him down to Las Vegas
Cuz you know how his day was
Maybe take him down to Las Vegas
Cuz you know how his day was

Ghost Ride

The Last Oasis

A Lone Walk In The Desert

13th new original track of 2024.

Lyrics:
Is this...what it means to be human?
Or what it means to be silent
You can hide here forever
Take your mind undercover
Is this...what you really wanted?
Or is it something you bargained
Help yourself to recover
Or lie in comfort forever


Is it...something you worked for
Or is it something you'd kill for
You can speculate justice
Put it all in discussions
You know...I really couldn't care less
Cuz I think you're all nonsense
Dictatorial violence
What it means to be silent

Chorus:

You can trust them all
While you watch them fall

The System

Andrew aka Toxodon. Lonely Host began when I joined a band named Nemesis circa late 1999. I began as vocalist/guitarist with Jordan on bass and Jeff on guitar. We mostly played songs by Rage Against the Machine at first. We all went to a local Moneen show one night and immediately began writing new songs influenced by them. We decided the new band's name would be Lonely Host (credit goes to Jeff for the name). By this time we had acquired a drum set and Jeff began his tenure as a successful drummer while Jordan took up DJ'ing under the moniker of LocoMotive. I remained lone guitarist, vocalist and lyricist. Starting in 2001 began experimenting with home recording and FL Studio. Eventually I was programming rudimentary drums, synth and overdubbing bass. This transformation was not reflective of any disdain for my bandmates but rather a product of my isolation at home. Jeff and Jordan have many different influences, some overlapping with mine (especially RATM, Tool and Floyd) while my main influences include Tool, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Oasis, Stone Roses, RATM, Deftones, Primus, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Nine Inch Nails, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, John Carpenter and Ennio Morricone. Shortly after my 40th birthday in 2024, I decided to open a new chapter for Lonely Host continuing on very much as I was back in 2006. I can't recommend Audacity and FL Studio enough. And I still use the multi-effects pedal, wah-wah pedal and guitars and bass that I used back then. UPDATE: I have acquired a BOSS GT-1 effects board and am now using  that for my recordings going forward of both guitar and bass. I am still trying to find a working solution for recording vocals because using a webcam's mic is just wrong lol.
